That Mr.. Powderly is still the head and
front of the Knights of Labor is evident
from recent developments in the manage
ment of the affairs of the order. The kick
ers and soreheads will have to take back
seats, it appears, and recognize Mr.. Pow
derly's authority. Employers throughout
the country will feel more confidence in the
order, now that Mr.. Powderly's authority
has been established, for he has always
recognized the fact that capital has some
claims, fact that the ordinary walking
delegate, pulled up with temporary author
ity, seldom realizes.

The closing scenes in the great go-as-you
please contest at Philadelphia last week
were of such a character as to create bad
impression on the spectators. The spectacle
of an old man limping about the track, a

ing. There is altogether too much brutality
connected with progressive sporting con-
tests these days TO make them popular with

Several papers took us to task last
week because we said ''the Democratic
party has always opposed class legisla-
ton. 1t has opposed giving away the
public domain to railroad corpora
TONS" Every word of the above is
true in the abstract. We are well
aware that during the ten years preced-
ing the Republican party's ascendancy,
the government, as a business prop
osition, regardless of party, aided in
the construction of certain lines of
railroad into unsettled portions. We
have. some of Stephen A. Douglas
speeches advocating the bill to assist in
constructing the roads named; but it
was by no means party measure and
Wings were as much in favor Of the
measure as were Democrats. Only a
few acres, all told, were disposed of for
this purpose. Anyone who will accuse
the Democratic party of unnecessarily
appropriating lands to corporations
shows an ignorance that is not worthy
of denial. The Backbone grant in the
states of Mississippi and Louisiana was
given long before Mr.. Cleveland was
elected, and when the matter came up
for final settlement, under the law
nothing could be done but comply with
the act of congress. The Republican
party is the only party that is accused
of stealing the public lands outright,
and as an evidence of that fact, the
Democrats in less than three years
have restored over 5000, 900 acres that
were, contrary to law, given away to
corporations, and the good work is only
fairly started. 1t will take a dozen
years yet to straighten out the books,
and when the facts are known, no
honest Republican can endorse the
party's land policy.-Manhattan Mer-
curry.

Nasby's Idea.

D. r. Locke, better known as Petro-
leum V. Nasty, has an elaborate arti-
Gle in the October North American Re
view, in which he endeavors to prove
that the only remedy for the evils of
the liquor traffic is by its complete sup
preston by prohibitory enactments,
The logic of the writer so largely par
takes Of the extravagant vein of humor
which enters into his Nasty papers that
one is inclined to doubt whether some
Of his propositions are seriously MAIN
tanned. He assumes that the liquor
traffic is greater crime" than other
offences which the law forbldS, and
that 1t should be treated in the same
way, that is by absolute prohibition.
This means that the selling or drinking
of glass of beer is as great crime as
forgery and robbery, and should be
equally punished bylaw. But the COM
men sense of mankind will not accept
these premises and until these are ad-
mitted Mr.. Locke's conclusions must
fall to the ground. Man is and always
will be considered a free agent, and
while he should be personally held re-
sponsible for his own Individual acts,
the proposition that some one else shall
be responsible fer what the man does
never will and never can obtain public
standing and endorsement. This is the
reason why arbitrary sumptuary laws,
and prohibition have never yet reform
ed drunkards or gratified their appe-
titles, or cleared any community from
the evils of intemperance. Where, as
in Maine, Kansas and elsewhere, they
have thus closed the saloons, the club
house and the ''dive" have filled the
void. The real question and the only
question to be practically considered is
not the iron rulel of prohibition which
Nasty favors, but taking the world as
it is, whether the manufacture and sale
of liquors under wise regulations shall
be suppressed by drastic penal statutes
for the sake of a comparatively few
who cannot restrain their appetites, or
an equally small number who demand
that the world shall be governed by
their own canens of taste.-Quincy
